You guys I am SO SORRY that posts have taken a while, but I had a book report due and the night before, I'm a procrastinator, I go to my book bag to get the book and then I find out I left it at school. JOY. So I pick up another book read it all and then do the damn project. Then it's two in the morning and I haven't done ANY of my other homework. SO I set my alarm earlier than usual. Then I woke up and fell asleep for a half hour. THEN I GET SICK SO I DON'T GO TO SCHOOL ANYWAY.

Sorry, you do not have to know all that...

I awoke for the first time in thirty odd years. My eyes were able to adjust to te light almost immeadiately. I found Bella lying next to me. I gasped, had she been knocked out too? I shook her lightly, and soon she was up.

"Where are we? What happened?" she asked grogily. Good question, I thought. I looked about. We were no longer in the limo. We were outside, the cloud overcast, but the sun was up none the less. Suddenly, I was knocked out...again.

When I awoke this time, it was night. Bella was already up, but she didn't move an inch. Maybe that would be the smartest thing to do. So I didn't move either. Eventually though, footsteps came near us. Due to their extreme lightness, I guessed they were Jane. If I knocked her off her feet, or freeze her, or something. Bella and could get away. But what would we do after? The Volturi would be able to find us no matter what we did.

"Get up," came Jane's reedy voice. Much to my surprise, Bella didn't wait a second, and jumped to her feet. Fine, I thought, I'll play their game. A bit slower than Bella, I rose to my feet. "Good." Jane started walking away. "Follow me." Reluctantly I followed.

Bella just looked forward walking slowly, her face void of emotion. What had they done to her? What were they going to do to us?

Then another part of my brain decided to ask questions about Jacob. How is he? Is he still alive? Did Jacob's pack banish him? By the time we stopped walking my head was swarming with unanswered questions.

Suddenly, Aro, was standing next to Jane. "Very good, you may leave now," he said to Jane. I wished that he would direct those words to me. Then Jane slipped away quietly.

"Now, now, you two. It's time to find out Bella's power." He paused for a moment. "I suppose you want to know how on earth do I plan to do that. Well, there are always two choices. One," Aro said as he snapped his fingers. Out of the darkness came a vampire, holding on to a little boy. No more than eight, the little boy was scared. His green eyes full of fear. His brown hair and tan skin was dirty. "We feed Bella real food. Or, two," he snapped his fingers again. Now a young vampire, who looked almost identical to the human boy but his eyes were a topaz, appeared. They probably were twins. Just maybe the other one didn't have a useful power so they decided to keep him around as food. "Young Eric here, does some experimenting." I didn't like the sound of either.

I looked over at Bella who bit her lip. In the end, it was her decision. "I'll eat the boy," she said quietly. I gasped. No way did she just say that.

"No!" cried the frightened boy. "Eric, help me! I'm your brother." Erice turned his head to the little boy.

"I have no brother," he hissed. "Even if I did, he wouldn't be a dumb human." I felt sorry for the little boy. His own brother couldn't remember him and now he was going to die for no reason.

Aro grinned. "That is the better choice. Though I was kind of looking forward to the experiment. None the less, help yourself." Bella walked slowly to the poor little boy.

"Sorry for this," she whispered as she closed in on his neck. Bella bit into his skin, but then pulled away. She was trembling slightly. "I can't eat that." Her face was apologetic. I watched as the little boy slumped on the ground, screaming in pain. I winced, now he was doomed to be a vampire like his brother. His voice ripped through the night. I had to cover my ears.

Slowly, Aro turned his head toward me. "You don't like that, Jera?" he asked. I shook my head. "Hmm, then I have a strange feeling that you aren't going to like my experiment." I nodded my head in agreement. "Well you like to hear it anyway? It has to do with you." My stomach dropped. I knew it.

"I guess so," I was able to get out.

"Fantastic!" Funny, I didn't think it was fantastic. "Well you see Eric has the power to control people for a short period of time. If we knew what Bella's power was, then we wouldn't need you. But we don't and you are going to help us out."

"What makes you think I'll help?"

"I thought you might say something like that," he grinned. I did not like that grin or what it could mean. "Like I said, Eric has the power to control people..."

Shit, shit, shit. No way. "How will Eric controling me help you find out what Bella's power is?" I asked trying to keep my voice even.

"We are going to make it so she has to use her power." What? That does not make sense at all. I looked at Bella she wasn't showing any emotion right now. All she was doing was staring at the little boy that she had bitten. She wasn't really paying attention to Aro's and my conversation. "Eric, this is Jera," he said motioning to me. "Her power is to move things with her mind, do you think you can control her right now?" He locked eyes with me.

"What's up with her eyes?" he asked as he turned to Aro. His voice was cold and flat.

"I don't know. She doesn't even know."

"Oh, ok. Well I can do it." Then he turned to me again. Eric stood there for a while looking at me. I shivered. Something was tapping at my mind block really hard. I could almost hear it rattle. Instinctively, I went into my mind to stop him from intruding. I fought as hard as I could against him, but in the end my mind block fell and I felt Eric come into my body.
